specialist of Cincinnati, Ohio, will be
in GAINESVILLE for ten days from the
2lst to the Slst of May guest of the
Franklin House.
Persons afflicted with any OF the
diseases treated by him should not
fail to consult him before he leaves
our city.
DR. Howard has gaineda very high
reputation where ever he has travelled
and cannot be classed with the trav-
cling Doctors who roam about the
country misleading the afflicted and
making promises and pretentipns
that no honorable physician would
make. He is a conscientious honor
able gentleman as the testimonials
which he has in his possession from
the best element where ever he has
been will testify, this fact is also de-
monstrated by his frequent visits to
the same place looking after hum
dreds of patients who have placed
themselves under his care. He gives
all who call on him an honest and
candid opinion of their case and will
treat only those who are in reach Of
medical skill. The afflicted should
avail themselves of the opportunity
to consult DIR. Howard whenever in
| their vicinity. 2

Mr.. Il. b. Ross, Of Rossview has
lost several of his fine sheep. Dogs
killed them at night. Such occur
rences could be prevented, but as
long as lazy white men and lazy Mig
gers cultivate the "yallerdog" as a
"guard the innocent sheep will suf-
fer.
The slab-sided cur in any neigh
borhood is representative of under
ground meanness of some sort or
other, and it is a well known fact
you can always tell what. a man is by
the kind of dog he follows. There
is little use in publishing the char
acteristics of such man and such a
dog. The press of the whole country
might concentrate Its powers on
them and they would remain un-'
changed. Wars sweep over the coun-
try and cities are burned to the
ground, but the nigger's "yallerdogv
stills lives and enjoys even more
privileges than his master with all
his freedom" A three dollar hog
may sometimes cause an abbrevia-
ton of a bad darky's liberty, but the
killing of u half dozen fine sheep
never molests the equanimity of that
fieet-footed, aea.producing felon, the
''yallerdog."

A Tarribla Murder.

A dispatch from Owatonna dated
September 24th. says: News has reach
ed here that Mr.. Dennis n. O'Brien
formerly of Owatonna. was murdered
at Maiden, Mont, on the 18th inst. Mr..
O'Brien was the son Of Mr.. James
O'Brien, who formerly lived in Bloom
ing Prairie. His mother is now resi-
dent of Owatonna. 1t seems that Mr..
O'Brien had claim in the Florence
mine. He went to the mine to carry a
lunch to the workmen, and while there
was shot by man named Burgess, and
instantly killed. Burgess formerly
owned an interest in the mine, which
had been purchased by O'Brien at a
sheriff sale. and this is suppose d
to have been the cause of the
murder. Frank Murray a part
ner of O'Brien, started with the remains
to this place, but the coach broke down
on the way, and being overtaken by a
severe snow storm, the remains were
buried at Mandan for the present. The
murderer has been arrested.
